So i'm reloading for my .280 remington... I've worked up to a maximum load of Reloader 19, (57 Grains) Remington LR primers, Remington Brass, and a 140 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets, and the book says, 3156 fps... (maximum load)...
the alliant website shows a CCI primer, 59 grains of RL 19 powder on top of a 140 grain Speer SP, at 2962 fps...
What all can create this difference?
i'm assuming barrel length is #1, and then mabey the length/Sectional Density of the bullet, causing less or more friction inside the barrel.... am i Crazy or is this almost weird? the Max load in the nosler book is 57, and the STD load in the Alliant website is 2 grains over that??? almost sounds dangerous?
Dups
